Gold ingots refined from ore can't be sold

[Kubius]

I've tried this personally with two different methods: selling to the trader on the salvage ship, and selling via the QM launcher. The trader won't accept it, and it doesn't give me any money past the price of a crate when it's launched. Additionally, browsing the bug reports history shows that smelted ingots can't be sold to C.A.R.L. either, according to a thread from mid-late 2014.

of course not. The gold in space is genuine stamped space-spain seigniorage.

The gold you make is shitty ill-refined bottom bin gold bars of unknown quality; why would they want that?

Purestrain gold as space loot, perhaps?

You can already get it from space safes, IIRC.

These are bars, not ingots. There's probably a difference, but I'm no jeweler.

It's also not a bug, it's a feature eternally stuck in work in progress.
